Apple’s New iMacs Are Here, and They Look Powerful and Pretty

Last month , Applediscontinued two iMac configurationswith either 512 GB and 1 TB of SSD storage for the 21.5 - inch iMac with 4 K display , fueling surmisal of an Apple Silicon - based iMac announcement . The rumors were genuine : Not only did Apple officially announcethe iMacs are getting its impressive M1 C.P.U. , but Apple ’s new iMacs in the end be available in color other than gray .

The new iMac looks more like Apple ’s Pro Display XDR , so the back is flat rather than curved , and the side profile is slimmed down to just 0.45 inches ( 11.5 millimeter ) thin , and it features a 24 - inch , 4.5 K Retina show with 11.3 million pixel , and 500 nit of brightness . All the Modern iMacs will be available in all the bold coloration of the rainbow . ( It ’s still keeping its touch gray , though . ) felicitous to see Apple is embracing colour for Macs again , which it abandoned after the iMac G3 .

The Modern iMacs also have a new 1080p HD webcam , and an levelheaded exhibit that automatically adjusts cleverness and vividness base on your surroundings . Apple also increase the world power driving the iMac auditory sensation organisation , which includes six speakers , . deliver more basso , mids and high without distorted shape , and it bear spacial audio . Apple says these are the best ever camera , mics , and loudspeaker system in a Mac . However , the Intel iMac from last summer also has a 1080p television camera and 3 - mic regalia , so this is not alone new , but the M1 in all probability does make those right .

There ’s also a newfangled magnetized powerfulness connection , and the AC adapter now has an Ethernet port . Touch ID is also now available for the iMac with the Magic Keyboard , and it works with faster user shift , so you may instantly exchange to your own profile with your fingermark .

What Apple did n’t spill the beans about much as the specs of the central processor in its new iMacs . It was rumored that the iMacs would have had a new M1 C.P.U. with 12 full core or else of eight like theMacBook Pro , MacBook Air , and Mac Mini . However , the new iMacs are only getting the “ stock ” M1 chip , with an eight - core CPU and eight - center GPU , and that ’s in all likelihood why less aid was paid to the processor and more to the new iMac innovation . And because these specs are the same , its probable the raw iMacs will have the same operation as the MacbookPro , for case , which is dissatisfactory .

Apple plans to found its Modern iMacs starting at $ 1,299 ( $ 1,249 for education ) for a 7 - heart and soul processor , and $ 1,499 for an 8 - pith CPU . Each modelling come with just 256 GB SSD storage , and the more expensive version hail in more colors : green , yellow-bellied , orangish , pink , purple , spicy , and silver . The cheaper model comes in green , pink , blue , and ash gray . There ’s also a$1,699 , 8 - core modelthat comes with 512 GB of SSD entrepot , but all models will have 8 GB of memory .
